\"WomanI took my Margaux Paloma Sandals to Montauk earlier this month. Elana Fishman<\/p>\n

Living in New York City means logging a lot \u2014\u00a0and I mean a lot \u2014\u00a0of steps.<\/p>\n

Between commuting to and from the office and running around to events and dinners after work, I average around 10,000 paces per day, which means my shoes need to be as functional as they are fashionable. Sometimes I\u2019ll go with sneakers or flats, but many days, I\u2019m looking for something more (literally) elevated for meetings, parties and the like.<\/p>\n

Enter Margaux<\/a>, the New York brand that\u2019s famous for its ballet flats<\/a>, but also happens to make the most comfortable heels I\u2019ve found thus far. I discovered the company a little over a year ago, when I was on the hunt for a great block-heeled, open-toed summer shoe. I gave the City Sandal<\/a> a try, and it was love at first wear.<\/p>\n

\"Pair<\/a> Margaux<\/p>\n

With its 2.5-inch heel height, it\u2019s the perfect all-day sandal for work, weekends and weddings alike. The crisscrossing straps are supple and soft, and the cushioned insole (padded with 5 millimeters of plush foam) means you can stand, stroll or dance for hours without your arches aching.<\/p>\n

In addition to matching basically everything in my closet, the shoes required minimal break-in time \u2014\u00a0not just a plus, in my book, but a must.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no wonder the City Sandal<\/a>\u2018s racked up hundreds of five-star reviews, with shoppers hailing them as \u201cperfect,\u201d \u201cso incredibly comfortable\u201d and \u201cgorgeous workhorse wedding shoes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The style\u2019s so ideal for all-night celebrations, in fact, that it\u2019s now being marketed as a bridal heel, available in ivory and silver as well as several pretty pastel shades. You can even customize them with a monogram and a crystal buckle, if you\u2019re feeling particularly fancy.<\/p>\n

\"Pair<\/a> Margaux<\/p>\n

For something more neutral, consider the equally excellent Paloma Sandal<\/a>, which is built on the same last and every bit as comfy and chic as its predecessor.<\/p>\n

I should know: After a year of wearing my City Sandals<\/a> nonstop, I ordered the Palomas<\/a> \u2014\u00a0which boast a slightly curved heel and a slimmer ankle strap closure \u2014 in both black and nude, and I think I might love them even more.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for more of a lift, meanwhile, I can\u2019t recommend Margaux\u2019s Paloma Platform<\/a> enough.<\/p>\n

Featuring the same upper as its sister style, it\u2019s got a 1-inch platform and 3.5-inch block heel that make it a no-brainer for special events. (I recently wore my black suede pair for a full workday followed by an event that involved hours of standing around and schmoozing, and my feet didn\u2019t hurt one bit.)<\/p>\n

Comfort and style aside, Margaux\u2019s inclusive sizing sets it apart from fellow footwear brands. Its shoes are available in an impressive range of full and half sizes, from 3.5 US (33.5 EU) all the way up 14 US (45 EU), as well as in medium, wide and narrow widths.<\/p>\n

I find the brand to run true to size; I typically wear a 10.5 US (41.5 EU), and that size fit me well in every Margaux style I\u2019ve tried thus far. One note: The straps across the top of the foot can feel snug at first, but they\u2019ll loosen up a bit after one or two wears.<\/p>\n

At just south of $400 per pair, Margaux\u2019s heels are definitely investments \u2014\u00a0but as someone who straight-up refuses to wear shoes that hurt, they\u2019re well worth it to me.<\/p>\n
